Well, it would have been in the 1990s. Precious Cargo is an action crime caper with a Saved By The Bell alumni now called Jack, a veritable 'Michelangelo of Thieves,' cajoled into robbing an armoured car to secure some red diamonds by Claire Forlani's thief, Karen, who must placate and recompense fearsome crime boss Bruce Willis. In objective terms Precious Cargo is a fairly humdrum affair and is not exactly driven by high-octane action. For instance, a boat chase sees shoots fired aplenty by the pursuing villains, but there is no real tension or threat as our heroes have causal chats as the bullets harmlessly whizz by. In terms of Bruce Willis, his appearance is little more than a cameo as he features in a mere handful of short scenes and probably didn't engage in any method acting preparation for the role. Yet, as a Saturday night pizza-fuelled time waster, I've seen worse and there are some pleasing hi-jinks on display, here and there.
